Our Plans
Our vision
Our vision is to put Bristol on the world stage for live music and entertainment.
World-class entertainment complex
YTL Arena is a world-class entertainment complex with a state-of-the-art arena and interlinking exhibition and conference facilities.
No.1 live venue for the south west
As the south west’s first large-scale indoor arena, music lovers from Cornwall, Devon, and Somerset won't need to travel far to experience top-tier events.
Must play venue
With a capacity of 19,000, YTL Arena will be the fourth largest venue in the country, making us a key player on the UK touring route.
This is no ordinary night out
Every fan will enjoy unforgettable experiences pre and post show, with a mix of vibrant bars, lounges and restaurants, focusing on high quality, local food and drink.
INVESTING IN OUR FUTURE

YTL Arena will create 1000 jobs, increase overnight stays in the city region by more than 300,000, and create a £60m boost per year to the city region’s tourism economy.
The power of music
Harnessing the power of music to empower our local community, our Grassroots Music Strategy will create opportunities to support the pipeline for emerging talent.
A connected arena for all
We’re investing £3.1m in the local transport infrastructure to support public transport and drive down car dependency.
The best of the west
We’ll be working in partnership with local businesses to source 75% of our products locally, giving you a real taste of what the South West has to offer.
